Croftlands Juniors

It was our first visit to Croftlands Juniors this morning.  As we have done in all our schools so far this term we did the Aesop's Fable story about the parts of the body working together.  The children listened as they looked at the funny pictures of the body parts who refused to feed the poor stomach.  As we all know each part of our body needs to work together.  The body parts soon became unwell and out of sorts until the stomach spoke up and told them why.  Although it is not a bible story I told the children Paul a follower of Jesus after Jesus had died wrote to encourage people and used the parts of the body as an example.  I used the verse from John about 'Love one another as I have loved you' to illustrate how we should help, respect, be kind to, care for each other.  I also used the idea of a jig-saw puzzle in that every piece needs to be in place for us to have a whole picture.  We then sang Shine and finished with a prayer.
